Ashley,

It would appear that the order IS important.. I have just tried a test 
file with the "Channel:" entry being my Cell number and the 
"Context/Exten/Priority" being my extension and it did as I expected, It 
dialed my Cell phone fisrt and when I answered my Cell phone I heard 
ringing as my extension on my dask started to ring..

Looks like it must be done in the order of source(extension) then 
destination(external phone number)..

Later..
